LONDONER'S DAUGHTER DIED OF ASTHMA INDUCED BY POLLUTION
Mother's legal action over right to clean air

THE mother of a nine-year-old girl who died from asthma induced by pollution is bringing a High Court claim against the Government to help establish a legal "right to clean air", a judge has been told.

Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, from southeast London, suffered a fatal asthma attack in 2013 after being exposed to excessive air pollution.

In landmark coroner's case in 2020, she became first person to have air pollution listed as a cause of death at an inquest in the UK.

It marked the culmination of a long battle by Ella's mother, Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, to have the role of air pollution in her daughter's death recognised.
